In choosing his career, Doctor Adeyemi had the quest of becoming a Medical Doctor. However, his jovial nature and social activities surrounding him made it seem unachievable. Still, he strived to pass the Medical Examination Qualification and did so on his first attempt. This changed his trajectory and belief in his choice of career.
